Lahat ng Kabanata ng Relentless Pursuit of His Lost Love: Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

With her heartbeat escalating, Emerald felt as though her heart was about to pop out of her chest at any minute.  “What happened, babe?” “There was an attack in our branch company in South Africa,” Clayton answered.   “Be careful there, did you bring bodyguards with you? Is Constantine with you?” Emerald spoke rapidly in rhythm with her fast heartbeat.   There was silence from Clayton’s side.  Emerald frowned when she heard knocks on her door which were quite loud.  She looked into the peehole to check who was at the door.

Emerald lifted her eyes and held Clayton’s gaze. Justin and her were friends before they went to university. He knew everything about her except her real identity as the only heiress of Giovanni Kingston. With Giovanni’s power and influence it was just easy for him to ask the school not to divulge Emerald’s true identity. Only a few of the school staff knew her real identity. Emerald also used a low profile car so as not to draw attention to her. Though her clothes, bags and shoes and other accessories were high end brands she would usually say that they were just imitations when some of her wealthy classmates inquired how she acquired them. Emerald wasn’t against this kind of arrangement as she wanted to have true friends. Friends who would want her not because of her wealth and prestige. Hence, none of them suspected that she came from a very affluent family. And the only person who befriended her was Justin. “He knew me like the back of his hand, except my real identit

Freya, though still groggy from sleep, understood what he said, stirred up and faced Red.  Surprise flickered in his eyes for a moment before they came back to their usual frostiness whenever he was looking at Freya.  “What a gentleman you are, Mr. Stanford. Willing to sacrifice for me, eh?” She patted his chest and a smirk plastered on her face.  “To tell you the truth, I am not weak as you thought. My child and I will live a good life without you. We don’t need your pity.” A marriage founded in sympathy and guilt won’t last a lifetime. It’s a weak foundation for a relationship. It can’t stand the test of time.  

Despite being flustered, Clayton hid it successfully with his dashing smile.  His mind worked quickly on how to conceal what had transpired if she overheard his conversation with Jim.  “Babe, congratulations!” Clayton lifted her in his arms and twirled around, earning a rapture of giggle from Emerald.  People who were passing by recognized Emerald and one of them began to have a live stream of the two lovey dovey.  She commented while having a live stream, “The world cup champion in show jumping was celebrated by her man. It’s no more secret where this woman got her inspiration and courage. Judging the way the man looked at her, he was totally and crazy in love with her. T

Clayton exuded a cold aura around him at the question that anyone with a few meters radius could feel it.  He turned and faced the media. “My wife is not a product of plastic surgery. She doesn’t need to go under a knife.”  He couldn't be bothered explaining if he was the one under their scrutiny but it was Emerald.  He won’t let others speak ill of his wife. After commenting, he turned and led Emerald into the building.  Emerald wasn’t bothered about the rumors around her. She was used to hearing people gossip about her appearance.  She just s
